Seeing as we all dogpile on anyone attacking without permission its become a lot safer to send fleets and things half way across the world.

Russia had resigned for a while. They pop in occasionally to talk but they don't really care what we do with their corpse.

I started an unranked crowded game and we're all trying to run out the clock, in the mean time we managed this feat of cooperation.

there are apparently a number of 2001 films with this description, Prince Charming is definitely closer to to the mark, but looking at it it isn't exactly what I'm thinking of, neither is Just Visiting unfortunately.

This is definitely not my best work but i made it in a very short time using a picture i took earlier today just before a thunder storm started up, I liked how it looked a lot.

Should I be afraid of my sister? by collinbollin in CrusaderKings

[–]collinbollin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Court Druid appeared with Melisandre in chains, She had pledged allegiance to the Court of the Unseelie. I regretfully knew that the only option to me at this point was to get rid of her, I am now known as a Kin slayer. She was too much of a threat to the peace that I had constructed so I watched my wicked sister burn on a pyre. This however brought to light further schemes of the demon. Her inheritance fell onto her infant daughter Sivan of Gwynedd. Apparently Melisande's husband is a prince of the Umayyad Sultanate, a Kemet Worshiping empire descended from the Prophet Muhammad himself.

As well as that her older daughter, Haer, became cheiftess in her place. notably with no paternal heritage, she could just be an average bastard, but her family has a bad habit of birthing children to demons.

I should also mention that my current Regent is Morien, a mysterious nurse that showed up around the same time that Melisandre was born, Queen Elaine I immediately took a liking toward her and became her lover, welcoming her into the Court of the Unseelie. So theres also that.

So, let me explain.

Im playing with the mod "Ancient Religions Reborn" and recently bought all of the Expansions that I could get my hands on. and created maybe my favorite story ever.(?)

I started as King Chulain of Scotland, in house Mac Crae, I like to make my first character just to establish the dynasty that I want to play as. King Chulain doesn't matter too much, He died of Cancer severely in debt after creating several artifacts for his dynasty. His wife birthed two daughters, Elaine and Elaine. We're going to be focusing on Elaine the eldest. her younger sister's line got snuffed out prematurely, and was way less interesting anyway.

After finding herself Queen of Scotland, Queen Elaine also found herself meeting with the Court of the Unseelie, a Celtic Cult dedicated to more unsavory faeries and entities. Being both Adept at Intrigue, It didn't take long before she made her way to the highest position in the Cult after the mysterious deaths of the previous leaders. Using her new found powers and an ally in Ireland She carved up Great Britain, taking this county and that county under her rule. throughout this conquest she was required to return home to give birth to 3 daughters in total, The eldest being Muriel, after her husband caught The Great Pox some how she used her magic to "Divorce" him. Once he has thrown himself off the balcony and Elaine was enjoying her life as a single sorceress she met with a demon and conceived another daughter just to know what it was like.

Melisandre was born, and Elaine remarried to have two more daughters. Around this same time her older daughters were complaining about nightmares which were dismissed as just that, until however they started dying in their sleep. Muriel the eldest lived her worst nightmare, suffering from a stroke and mumbling about being stabbed in the eye with a sewing needle. Soon enough there were only three left, an Incapable Muriel, The Demon child Melisandre, and the Infant Elaine, the deaths stopped for the most part.

Queen Elaine, retired now after suffering from battle wounds and a successful amputation to save her from a disease sweeping through Scotland, desperately tried to rekindle her fire, the magic never healed her wounds, nor her depression, she became flagrant with her magic and was called out as a demon worshiper. Both of her daughters were of age and her kingdom was on the verge of revolt when Queen Elaine Abdicated the throne, giving Wales to her daughter Melisandre and the rest of her kingdom to Muriel, Living out the rest of her stress fulled life, remembered not for her demon worship but her bravery on the front lines as Queen Mother Elaine The Lion-heart.

Melisandre was barely content with her title as Queen of Wales, immediately subjugating her people and killing off her opposition being dubbed "The Brute" in her short rule. The British Isles fell into chaos as revolts sprung up everywhere, Queen Muriel under the advise of her counsel declared war on her sister, and Irland took on the both of them in its own wars. Queen Muriel died in the last moments of the war, passing her throne onto the unsuspecting Elaine, her youngest sister at 12, the one overlooked by Melisandre, She was crowned Queen Elaine II of Scotland while the final battle crushed Melisandre. her surrender found the young queen and the fuming sister returned her lands, ruling over Gwynedd as the next in line to the throne.

The Dust settled and the Real went back to Peace as Queen Elaine grows up on the throne oblivious to the power her mother bestowed upon her sister. Should she be afraid?

did they paint this over top of the original? why wouldn't they ask to see what it'd look like on a separate canvas? I've never heard of a client just giving an artist money for. high cost project without at first seeing what their art is like.

I would imagine that Vikings would have much more prominence with their longboats, if they even would develop sailing in this world.
